The telecommunications industry is back in the news this week. The government has announced that its investigation on cross network call charges allows for further reduction. The report was called for as part of a mediation process following Safaricom and Telkom’s bid to stop further price reductions. From July 2011 the terminating charges will drop to Kshs.1.44 from Kshs.2.21. This is likely to once again trigger price competition, to the benefit of the consumer.

The current practice of ring net fishing off the coast of Kenya and the difficulties of monitoring this type of fishing since it was introduced in the late 1980s from Tanzania, is causing serious environmental and sociological concerns as well as concerns about the economic impacts on artisanal fishermen and women. Common sea fish retails at half the price from ring net fishing when compared to artisanal catches, thus seriously impacting the independent fisherman’s livelihood. This report calls for an enforced suspension of the ring net fishery by the Department of Fisheries, until stakeholder meetings can be held and a clear way forward with a re-established Task Force charted. See full report below.

As the Kenyan government tries to improve on performance and accountability in the public sector through the evaluation of performance contracts, a 2009 global survey on economic crime conducted by Pricewaterhouse Coopers reveals that there is also much to grapple within the private sector. The firm conducted a global survey on economic crime in 54 countries with over 3,000 respondents. The objective was to assess economic crime in the ‘current economic environment’. The report correlates tougher economic times and the related increased pressures at work to perform and meet targets with the increase in fraud. Overall a third of respondents reported they had experienced economic crime within the 12 month period. Industries showing above average occurrences included the insurance, financial and communications sectors. And emerging market countries also reported higher levels of fraud.82.5% of companies surveyed in Russia reported that they had been subjected to at least one major economic crime, making it top of the list in economic crime. Kenya ranked third with 57% of the respondents reporting that they had experienced economic crime. South Africa reported the second highest rate (62%), whilst Canada interestingly ranked 4th (56%) although this may be attributable to more sophistication in the ability to detect fraud. Countries reporting low levels of fraud included Italy, Sweden (19%), Singapore, India (18%) with the lowest reported by Japan (10%).The most common economic crimes in Kenya were accounting fraud, asset misappropriation and bribery/corruption. Although the impact on the economy of public sector bribery and corruption frequently hits the headlines, the loss through private sector economic crime no doubt has serious implications to economic development in emerging markets. Kenyan companies reported losses attributable to these crimes ranging from Kshs 7.5mn – Kshs 37.5mn in 2009.The primary objective of PWC’s survey is to gain an understanding of fraud in order to develop systems to detect and prevent economic crime.
